Ordered on a Monday evening and was received on a Monday evening. I was pleasantly surprised at the packaging it came in. Nicely wrapped and protected. From opening the box to final set-up, took 30 minutes as I was very careful in putting it together. I usually am in a hurry to put things together, but forced myself to go slow. I altered the directions a bit as I was assembling it alone. If I had another pair of hands, I would have followed directions to a T. Great value and very heavy duty. Not a wobbly table at all. Would highly recommend to anyone pondering this table. Very nice and makes my living room entry area look fabulous!
